FairPlay and Taktile Partner to Deliver Scalable AI Model Governance for Financial Institutions

Integration empowers lenders to test, optimize, and validate credit decision models directly within Taktile's low-code platform

LOS ANGELES, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FairPlay, the world's first Fairness-as-a-Service™ company and a leading provider of AI enablement solutions for the financial industry, today announced a new partnership with Taktile, a fast-growing AI-powered Decision Platform for risk management teams across financial services.

This collaboration allows lenders and fintechs to integrate FairPlay's model testing, optimization, and validation tools directly into their decision logic on Taktile—enhancing transparency, audit readiness, and performance across the credit lifecycle.

As financial institutions continue to adopt machine learning and automation in credit decisions, the ability to continuously validate, monitor, and improve these models has become mission-critical. FairPlay's technology enables lenders to assess how their decision-making systems perform across different customer segments, identify blindspots, and make adjustments without sacrificing compliance or accuracy.

Now, through this integration with Taktile, FairPlay brings its AI enablement solutions directly into the environments where credit policies are built, deployed, and managed.

Key Benefits for Lenders:

• Seamless Model Validation: Lenders can now test and analyze their models for accuracy, fairness, and stability—without leaving the Taktile platform.
  
  
• Production Monitoring and Alerts: Real-time visibility into how models perform, with configurable alerts for drift, bias, and emerging risks.
  
  
• Second Look Evaluations: Automated re-reviews of declined applications help uncover missed approvals and improve conversion rates.
  
  
• Audit-Ready Documentation: Generate regulator-aligned reports instantly, streamlining compliance and reducing manual overhead.
  
  
• Integrated Governance: Embed validation and oversight directly into existing decision workflows for a unified risk infrastructure.

"Our vision for the partnership is that lenders and other model developers will be able to build and host models in Taktile and use FairPlay to test, optimize, and validate those models," said Kareem Saleh, Founder and CEO of FairPlay. "We believe this will accelerate the path of models into production, create new revenue opportunities, and help ensure that automated decisions are built on a foundation of precision and accountability."

"Now customers can integrate FairPlay's solutions directly into their credit policy logic on Taktile, unlocking a more streamlined approach to building, deploying and monitoring lending decision practices," said Maik Taro Wehmeyer, CEO of Taktile.

The combined solution is ideal for credit risk and compliance teams looking to boost visibility into model performance, reduce regulatory friction, and enhance overall operational control. From launching Second Look programs to preparing for audits, financial institutions can now manage both execution and governance in a single platform.

As the financial industry faces increasing regulatory pressure and public scrutiny around AI-driven decisions, the need for embedded model governance is no longer optional.
